Vogue 8686 is this one.


Where do you need the 4 inches? Bodice? Sleeve? Sleeve length? Sleeve circumference? Need more details please.

Yup that's the one! I need to add to the waist...I was thinking on it and I think I found a way to do it-the old cut and spread way.Working on the muslin now..

Can you just use a larger waist size on the pattern that will give you 4" more?
